thiS is nEw !
The midterm weeks for the A3B3-1 students on their Math 51 class was really very pressured, alarming, and very much controversial. It is not because of the usual reason which is the subject's difficulty but because of the shocking mere fact that 80% of the whole class withdrew from this course which is indeed, very unusual for whoever even the teachers themselves.
Actually, the reason "difficulty of the SUBJECT" is there. It is very obvious but what really made up the mind of the students to withdraw from it is the "TEACHER'S WAY OF GIVING EXAMS".
You might think that they are very ridiculous but that's the fact.
Imagine this, he's trying his best to discourage the students in his class.
How?
Primarily, it came from his very mouth that he will try his best to bring them to the most difficult state of his teaching. He gave them a "beyond their limitations" exams. Maybe he was thinking that because they are IITians, it would just be ok for them.
But excuse me, it's not!
Secondly, he clearly stated that if ever these students felt that they don't already have a good future in this course, the teacher would be wide open to accept withdrawers.
Maybe he didn't thought and expect that huge number of the class remembered it and would do it.
Now that it already happened, he found himself very problematic because of this unusual event.
Lastly, the students themselves already thought that this thing would happened and they are very much prepared to take the risk of withdrawing this subject.
This case scattered all over the CSM building even the Dean and department chairman of Mathematics and all of them felt it very alarming because of the naked truth that only a few are left on this teacher's class.
What's more distressing is that even the COE teachers especially the advisers of the students knew about it and planned to take a big act to solve this problem.
See?
You might be wondering why I knew all about it.
Obviously, I'm one of those students who withdrew.
If you're not contented with my explanations here, you could approach me 'cos I know that even you didn't expect that something like this would happen in the history if IIT.
